Re: SUDO access not working for newly added users.

Shalom,

This is almost undoubtedly a sudouers file configuration error.

1) Which sudo are you using? The one provided by http://software.hp.com Internet Express works better than the open source versions but it stores the sudoers file somewhere in /opt which may lead you to edit the one you are used to in /etc to no effect.

2) I forgot. Good Luck.

hi,

can you confirm if it is working for any other user apart from the "new users"?

it could be a configuration issue as mentioned previously.

kind regards
